IT HAD TO BE YOU is a sequel to the Audio Drama: DEAD WRONG. (https://open.spotify.com/show/4Nc6E9sny0S5NJ0vz7OYg7)
Harper finally lands her dream job with a hot role in a period-drama TV series but is disturbed to learn that one of the directors is none other than her two-timing ex, Tyler Crystal. As a people-pleaser with a fear of commitment, Harper will have to navigate securing her career, working with her ex, and trying to figure out if there's any long-term solution for her and her Californian boyfriend, Noah, while she's filming in Canada for 9 months.
Harper, Noah, Javier, and Mandy are recurring characters who are already cast. Open roles for this show are listed below. It's especially great if you are versatile enough to do multiple voices! Please try out for more than one role if you're interested:
TYLER CRYSTAL (MALE, AMERICAN, BRITISH, OR CANADIAN) $50
GINA MADRID (FEMALE, AMERICAN OR ANY OTHER ACCENT) $50
SAGE MITCHELL (FEMALE, CANADIAN OR AMERICAN ACTORS) $30
EAST MITCHELL (MALE, CANADIAN OR AMERICAN ACTORS) $25
RYAN WILLIAMS / ZACH/ MALE BACKGROUND CHARACTERS (MORE AMERICAN OR CANADIAN ACCENTS, THOUGH ALL ACCENTS WELCOME) $25
STEPHANIE / WANDA/ FEMALE FILMING CREW MEMBERS (AMERICAN, CANADIAN, ANY) $25
Thank you so much to everyone who took the time and effort to audition! It's really hard to choose among so many fabulous actors. I really feel it was all sixes. I wish you the best of luck in your future projects and I look forward to working with more of you on CCC!
The roles for Gina and Male Extras have been cast. I'm still deciding on the other four roles (sorry for the delay!) and reopening auditions for any late-comers who still want a chance, especially for East or Sage Mitchell.
Thank you to everyone who has auditioned! I listen to all the auditions multiple times and it's really agonizing choosing among so many great options. Best of luck to everyone! Thank you for your time!
Hi! I just wanted to let you all know that if I replied to your audition it doesn't mean I dismissed it. I'm just trying to make sure I replied to all the ones I listened to so I don't miss any! Thank you for your time and effort. I've gotten a lot of good options to choose from!
Tyler is ambitious, charismatic, and subtly manipulative. He is a new director for a TV series that the lead (Harper) stars in. He is also Harper's ex who she left when she found out he was married. Tyler may have an American or (any) British accent. He is in his early 30s.
What's with the face? Did Gina chew you out already? She probably told you she didn't want to cast you, right?
Come on, Harper. I know better than anyone that this is your dream. This could be your big break! And I know you'll be amazing for the part! Here's the new script. Go over it. We're going to do a practice shoot this afternoon and we'll need you there.
Oh, no! My lips are sealed! That's just between us. And I really don't think any of that matters now. All in the past. Just give it a go, will you? Here's where the magic's done! Zach--you wanna play the reel from yesterday?
Gina is one of the producers for a 1920's period drama TV show called "Knock Twice." She is assertive, resourceful, and blunt. She comes off strong and cold, and can be very mean. She is an antagonist for most of the show.
I'm the assistant director and producer. And I don't like being told what to do. And I don't like doe-eyed, upstarts like you. So read your script and don't whine about the changes. We don't need to talk to each other ever again if things go my way.
No. I'll say it again: don't bother trying to make friends with me or anyone else because you're not coming back to Knock Twice. I'll see that you won't.
It's a lucky break, but it's a break. Be grateful for it and don't down-sell yourself. It's a combination of luck and grit that gets anyone to succeed. You earned it just as much as anyone else who could've gotten it.
Sage is a fun, nosy, and spunky young woman in her early twenties (or as young as 18). She and her brother, East, help Noah when he crashes his car in the snow.
(SCREAMS.) HE'S DEAD! THERE'S A DEAD GUY! .... I guess we're gonna have to keep him, eh? What's Ma gonna say about this one?
(ANGRY) LEAVE HIM ALONE, YOU GREMLIN! SHUT THE DOOR!
Wow. He really likes you. He wouldn't even leave you to beg for food when we were eating. Weird...
OPENING TO ALL ACTORS. East Mitchell is level-headed, quirky, and a go-with-the-flow kind of guy. He and his sister, Sage, help Noah when he crashes his car in the snow.
So should we throw him in the truck?
No way! It's my turn to choose the music! I have to drive through this storm with some half-dead yank in the back seat. Just let me have this. (SHOUTS from the front of the truck. To Noah) If you don't make it--do I have permission to harvest your organs for the black market?
Nice to meet you, Noah! I'm East. And this angry blond is my little sister.
Ryan Williams is the main star of "Knock Twice." If you can do multiple voices for Ryan and the filming crew that would be ideal.
RYAN: Moved on? Not a day has passed that I didn't think about you. That I didn't wonder where you were or what you were doing or who you were seeing... I never moved on. I meant what I said: it's always been you.
ZACH: Mr. Crystal, the cameras are all set up, should we start rolling now or--?
JOE: Aw, thanks, Harper! Hey, I need to ask you: we need an emergency contact for you. Who would you like to put on there? Or is there anyone you'd like to allow on set with you?
Please feel free to apply for these roles as well as Gina or Sage. It's nice to have one person who can do multiple roles.
WANDA (AWKWARD) Oh. You didn't know?... They revised the script. Did you not see the change?
MEDIC Hi, I'm just going to check your pulse. Can you look at me for a second? I'm going to flash a light in your eyes.
STEPHANIE (laughs) True! We have to level up from sweating side characters to sweat-free lead actors!
*Say something you think would fit*
